A note on twist two operators in N=4 SYM and Wilson loops in Minkowski signature [PDF]
Recently the anomalous dimension of twist two operators in N=4 SYM theory was computed by Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov in the limit of large 't Hooft coupling using semi-classical rotating strings in AdS_5.

Wilson loops in circular quiver SCFTs at strong coupling [PDF]
We study circular BPS Wilson loops in the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal n-node quiver theories at large N and strong ’t Hooft coupling by using localization.

't Hooft and Wilson loop ratios in the QCD plasma [PDF]
The spatial 't Hooft loop measuring the electric flux and the spatial Wilsonloop measuring the magnetic flux are analyzed in hot SU(N) gauge theory. Both display area laws. On one hand the tension of the 't Hooft loop is perturbatively calculable, in the

Anyons, 't Hooft loops and a Generalized Connection in Three Dimensions [PDF]
We consider a generalized connection in three dimensions and show that it emerges in Chern-Simons-Maxwell theories when one studies the disorder instanton operator.

Wilson loops in the Hamiltonian formalism [PDF]
In a gauge theory, the gauge invariant Hilbert space is unchanged by the coupling to arbitrary local operators. In the presence of Wilson loops, though, the physical Hilbert space must be enlarged by adding test electric charges along the loop. I discuss

On some 1/4 BPS Wilson-’t Hooft loops [PDF]
A bstractIn this paper, we investigate the 1/4 BPS Wilson-’t Hooft loops in N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We use the bulk D3-brane solutions with both electric and magnetic charges on its world-volume to describe some of 1/4 ...

The 't Hooft-Veneziano limit of the Polyakov loop models [PDF]
The broad class of U(N) and SU(N) Polyakov loop models on the lattice are solved exactly in the combined large N, Nf limit, where N is a number of colors and Nf is a number of quark flavors, and in any dimension.

DMRG study of the higher-charge Schwinger model and its ’t Hooft anomaly [PDF]
The charge-q Schwinger model is the (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED) with a charge-q Dirac fermion. It has the ℤq 1-form symmetry and also enjoys the ℤq chiral symmetry in the chiral limit, and there is a mixed ’t Hooft anomaly between ...

The QCD phase diagram in the space of imaginary chemical potential via ’t Hooft anomalies [PDF]
The QCD phase diagram in the space of temperature and imaginary baryon chemical potential has been an interesting subject in numerical lattice QCD simulations because of the absence of the sign problem and its deep structure related to confinement ...
